Reporting Medicare / Medicaid Fraud
Did you know that even Russian and Nigerian mob bosses are getting in on U.S. Medicare and Medicaid fraud? It’s true. Some observers estimate that Uncle Sam’s pocket is picked to the tune of over $1 billion every year.
The majority of the cases we handle at Fischer Legal Group involve fraud perpetrated by health care professionals and businesses involving reimbursement by Medicare and Medicaid.
No one knows for certain the exact amount of fraud occurring in these systems — because fraud is seldom obvious. Many observers suspect it is more than $1 billion annually.
